So Finally did it

Very nice! this has helped move me towards ecutek rather than uprev, not to keen on tuning, but we only have one shop that does ecutek here, mainly on Subaru and Mazda and the GTR. They claim they do other tunes of vehicles not listed and exutek points me to them on the locator"

are these ecutek tunes just tunes run from the same map per say? or running custom tunes? or what i also assume can be both...just want to get a better idea of what im up against here.

this is there website FNP Tuned | Forced Induction Experts

shot them a email with a couple questions.

No you can have multiple maps , I have 4, there are all slightly deferent. I'm running the most aggressive map now. But is still super safe, We agreed to have the safest map that will make the most power. No need to tune the car to an inch of its life. LOL

MyZ4U2C · 06-13-2015, 08:17 PM

So are you running standard maps? or a custom map as well? I assume the standard maps can be tweaked to run in certain climates or elevation. Just trying to get a better understanding. I know there are multiple maps, sorry I didnt make it clear. thanks

Awgd8 · 06-13-2015, 10:08 PM

ANMVQ, that is great!

Just a quick question? I am about to trade in my car to either a 2013 G37x sedan with premium package vs 2013 G37xS sedan with navi package ( I believe the Navi package must have Premium package to get one)

The xS sedan advantage for me is the Navi , paddle shifter and sports seats, dont care too much on 18" duckfeet rims. Will the Xs heavier rhan the regular X? Price difference between the 2 is $3,500.

I might pick one up this coming Thursday.

I thought I would just see it all up to from 2500-7500! The gains across the board and I am SUPER happy. Thank again John.

Do you have AFR vs rpm available to post?

It's all custom mapping..

There is no standard mapping.

Over several months I've come up with my own "OFF THE SHELF" maps...they are written from scratch, I dont use anything EcuTek provides..NOTHING.

The N/A tunes aren't very complicated..

I send all my customers 4 different maps, Low --> High Octane.

Worst Cali Gas --> Best 93 Oct

I have you send me a log on Map 1 or 2 which are the lower octane maps and I review for knock correction , fueling adjustments and a few other things

I normally ask you to stay on the less aggressive maps until fueling is sorted.

Once fueling is where I want it we can start logging on the more aggressive maps. The tune is adjusted until I find a happy place for the car.

All can be remotely.

Hey man !!

No the XS IS not heavier , well maybe a little cause the base X has 17's but nothing not worth buying it, heck I made mine a X(S) lol I added paddles my winters and stock RWD sedan sport wheels , just no sport seats :/. But if you can get a Xs get it . We had an 08 G35 XS and I loved it

Spooler · 06-14-2015, 01:23 AM

Now this would be worth it for a tune.

Thanks for clarifying!

im not quite ready to get tuned, but I may end up contacting you when im ready. Thanks!

Awgd8 · 06-14-2015, 08:44 AM

AMNVQ, thanks for the input.

I might sell my Uprev Tuner also and go ECUTek. So yours is all Etunes? How much did you spend for everything? I am planning a not so aggresive performance MAP.

I can save money if I stay with Uprev since I can tune this car on my own. First thing to do is to find a decently price G37Xs.

Does your ECUtek throttle a lot better now?

I wonder if Uprev or ECUtek supports a 2013 G's?

That is a decent run for a stock car. DS mode?

Ecutek supports 2008+ G37s

The 2008 which has only a 1MB flash doesn't have all the latest advanced features

Thanks for checking that! I might be getting either the 2018 G37xS or the G37X sedan soon!

I only want the G37xS for the seat. I find the G37x seat hurting my back. Does the Xs seat stiffer or just the same only wrap around? The paddle shifter that I test drove before seems lagging. I might save money for just getting the G37x and buy a lighter wheels, then Ecutek.

So how is the throttle response on the ECutek now?

ANMVQ · 06-14-2015, 07:22 PM

The throttle response is very good !! He did a great job with that also . The XS seats if a remember right and lumbar support , something I thjnk I'm goig to need soon. ( back MRI on this past Friday) . But those seats have a seperate set of buttons for adjust for lumbar support. The seat sides hugging you are nice also
